"We’re trying to keep the fire away from homes," said District Chief Benny Fulkerson. "That’s priority number one. We will let some of the grass burn if we have to because we don’t have enough resources to chase it out across the open field and put resources on the homes."

Crews said two mobile homes were damaged. So were two outstructures and one RV.

"We left to go to church but we got calls from a bunch of our neighbors telling us to come home," said Jamie Gilbert, who had to leave. "They let us in and we were able to get all our valuables and our dog. That’s what’s important, right?

"You just pray for the best."
